Yes, (a) represents a perspective view, (b) is a perspective view from a different direction. Lower cushioning member 170 is disposed at the bottom of the four corners of the product 200 in the foaming resin. The lower buffer member 170 is made of a foamed resin, for example, EPS (foamed polystyrene) or EPE (foamed polyethylene) according to the shape of the product 200. The lower cushioning member 170 prevents the product 200 from moving on the base member 130.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the lower cushioning member 170 includes two orthogonal side walls 172 and 173 and a bottom wall 174 formed below the side walls 172 and 173, and the bottom wall 174 includes a product. The side wall 172, 173 and the bottom wall 174 form a receiving portion 171 that receives a product corner. In addition to the 174 a, the receiving portion 171 is formed with a predetermined uneven shape in accordance with the shape of the product 200. A concave portion 177 corresponding to the joint member 160 protruding inward from the box 120 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall 172, and a concave portion 178 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall 173. Further, a step 179 for installing a reinforcing member 190 (see FIG. 9) described later is formed on the side wall 172. The reinforcing member 190 is disposed as necessary. Hereinafter, a case where the reinforcing member 190 is not disposed will be described. Further, on the lower surface of the bottom wall 174, a step portion 176 to be engaged with the side portion 155 of the upper base member 150 as a first positioning portion and a hole portion 154 of the upper base member 150 as a second positioning portion. A low cylindrical projection 175 to be fitted is formed, and these positions the lower cushioning member 170 on the pallet member 110. The positional relationship between the step portion 176 and the convex portion 175 corresponds to the hole portion 154 formed in the flat plate portion 151 of the upper base member 150, and the position (or side edge) of the side portion 155 in the flat plate portion 151. If the distance from the portion 155 and the folding line 152 to the center of the hole 154 is made different, and the position of the convex portion 175 is set corresponding to this position, the lower cushioning member 170 is arranged at a different position. The situation can be prevented beforehand.

  For example, the positional relationship of the stepped portions 176 and the convex portion 175 can be set as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the hole 154 of the upper base member 150 for positioning the buffer member is a folding line 152 of the side portion 155 of the upper base member 150 and the positioning flap portion 153 of the upper base member 150. The four holes 154 have four straight lines connecting the centers of the adjacent holes parallel to the side 155 and the folding line 152, respectively. It is arranged to form a square. In this example, the distances between the two straight lines arranged in parallel with the side portion 155 and the nearest edge are n and r, respectively, and the two straight lines arranged in parallel with the folding line 152 are the nearest folding line 152. When the distance is m and p, m, p, n, and r have different values. The positions of the convex portions 175 and the step portions 176 of the lower buffer member 170 are set corresponding to these values m, p, n, and r. Note that the positions of the convex portions 175 and the step portions 176 may be set based on other criteria as long as the situation where the lower cushioning member 170 is disposed at different positions can be prevented. For example, when it can be visually discriminated by the shape of the upper surface of the cushioning material, the positions of all the holes 154 do not have to be different, and the holes 154 located diagonally in FIG. 3 (for example, the upper left and lower right holes) parts, or may be made different in the lower left and upper right of the hole portion) only.

  Next, the protrusion dimension of the convex part 175 and the step part 176 is demonstrated. FIG. 8 shows the installation state of the lower buffer member, (a) is a front view showing the state before the lower buffer member is installed, (b) is a front view showing the state where the product is installed, and (c) is the front view. It is a front view which shows the state which has arrange | positioned the lower buffer member to the underlay member. In this example, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the thickness dimension of the flat plate part 151 of the upper base member 150 is h0, the projecting dimension of the projecting part 175 is h1, and the projecting dimension of the step part 176 is h2. The relationship of h1 ≧ h0> h2 is established. h1 ≧ h0> h2 is that when the lower buffer member 170 is disposed on the base member 130, the lower buffer member 170 is inclined outward as shown in FIG. This is to facilitate insertion of 200. When placing the lower cushioning member 170 in underlying member 130, side wall 172 of the lower cushioning member 170 is inclined outwardly by an angle θ from vertical T, it facilitates the insertion of a corner portion of the product 200 to receiver 171.

  When the product 200 is placed in a state where the lower buffer member 170 is inclined, the contact portion between the convex portion 175 and the convex portion 175 of the flat plate portion 141 of the lower base member 140 is compressed by the load of the product 200. The compression of the convex portion 175 and the flat plate portion 141 is stopped when the lower surface of the bottom wall 174 is in contact with the upper surface of the base member, and the lower buffer member 170 changes from the inclined state to the upright state (see FIG. 8B). The product 200 is stably placed on 130.

  Further, in this example, when the lower buffer member 170 is disposed, the mounting portion 174a is mounted on the flat plate portion 151 of the upper base member 150, that is, the end portion 174b of the mounting portion 174a is the stepped portion. regions other than the region immediately above the 176, in this example it is assumed that placement of the step portion 176 on the inside. When the mounting portion 174a is disposed in the region directly above the step portion 176, there is a gap between the step portion 176 and the flat plate portion 141 when the product is disposed on the mounting portion 174a. End up. On the other hand, according to this example, the load when the product is placed on the bottom wall 174 can be received by the flat plate portion 151 of the upper base member 150, and effective buffering performance can be provided.

  The upper buffer member 180 is formed of the same material as the lower buffer member 170 and is fitted between the four corners of the product 200 and the lid portion 122 and the vertical wall portions 123, 124, 125, 126 of the box body 120. The Upper cushioning member 180, the shape of the product 200, and has a predetermined shape for handling convenience.
